long and carefully prepared opinion, which
occupied thirry-fivs minutes In the reading.
The court holds In brief, fzst. that tbs

court in the seass Of Hopt va The Ts,ritofy'
of Utah; third, that it does not appear In
the record that upon the evidence the
trial court should have declared

cised over what it is pleased TO

ingly favorable opinion Of them
selves, and their demands and needs
arc perennial. in fact, when it
